The preparation involves cooking a popular dish typically associated with high-temperature ovens within a specialized outdoor cooking appliance designed to burn compressed wood products. This method imparts a distinct smoky flavor profile not achievable through conventional baking methods. For example, the crust exhibits a subtle char and the toppings absorb the essence of the wood smoke, creating a unique culinary experience.
This approach offers several advantages, including the ability to impart complex flavor notes, maintain consistent cooking temperatures, and enjoy outdoor cooking. Historically, this technique builds upon the tradition of wood-fired ovens while incorporating modern technology for precise temperature control and fuel efficiency. The result is a flavorful and enjoyable meal prepared in a convenient outdoor setting.
